new_type (string: "integer" | "float" | "boolean" | "complex" )

The the type of the casted signal.

new_name (string)

new_type (string: "integer" | "float" | "boolean" | "complex" )

Implementation

@include "hook-nodes.conf"

paths = (
        {
                in = "signal_node"
                out = "file_node"

                hooks = (
                        {
                                type = "cast"

                                signal = "random"
                                
                                new_name = "int_random"
                                new_unit = "pts"
                                new_type = "integer"
                        }
                )
        }
